Critical Risk

Why browser_unblock needs a policy

Removing entries from a blocklist is an irreversible security configuration change that cannot be easily undone in an automated context. It weakens security controls by re-allowing previously blocked URLs, which could expose the browser to malicious sites. This is closer to Destructive than Write because it removes a security restriction rather than just modifying data reversibly.

How to control browser_unblock

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Termux Browser Pilot, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for browser_unblock:

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "hide": [
    "browser_unblock"
  ]
}

browser_unblock disappears from the agent's tool list entirely, and any attempt to call it is denied. The rest of the server keeps working.

  1. Create a free account and register Termux Browser Pilot — nothing to install.
  2. Add this policy — paste it, or build it visually.
  3. Point your MCP client (Claude, Cursor, anything) at your gateway URL.
